Its great that he knows he has a problem. Sex addiction is a disease much like alcoholism. The best treatment is a combination of 12 step work, individual counseling, group therapy, good nutrition, exercise and a spiritual program. Statistically if he can add all of these to his life, he has an 85% chance of recovery.

There are several sex addiction 12 step groups. I recommend L.A. or Lustaholics Anonymous. Their web site is sexaddictionhelp.org It runs much like an AA group. Anyone can do their program regardless of religion, sexual orientation, race, gender, or marital status. They have a great success rate if you can show up and follow the steps.

There are people there with 15 years of sobriety. What is sobriety? Freedom from the obsession to lust. This includes masterbation, voyurism, affairs, infidelity, love addiction.

I would also encourage you to get help for your self. Sex addicts and love addicts and lust addicts do better if their family or significant other also gets involved in recovery. The organization for the family members would be CODA or S-Anon. The web address for S-anon is sanon.org or also serenitysite.orgh

Good luck. You can have a loving meaningful relationship if both of you are willing to change.

Alcohol consumption can affect the inner ear balance system, leading to symptoms like vertigo, dizziness, and impaired coordination. These effects are due to alcohol's impact on the central nervous system and its ability to disrupt communication between the brain and the inner ear. It is advisable to drink alcohol in moderation to avoid these balance-related issues.

Not very many, of all the people who try to commit suicide through cutting, only 1% of them succeed. I would think with just general non-suicidal cutting the numbers would be even lower. Also, most cutters don't cut deep enough to do much damage (though, some do).

People in precontemplation stage have no intention of changing their behavior for the foreseeable future. They are not thinking about changing their behavior, and may not see the behavior as a problem when asked. They certainly do not believe it is as problematic as external observers see it.

ooh there are many many effects. It would depend on how "unbalanced" the diet is, of course, but assuming it wasn't too severe, you could begin to crave things that aren't food because they have certain minerals in them, especially things like paint. You could also crave just regular food because you are deficient in things that you need.You could also feel sluggish, have bad skin problems, brittle nails and hair. possible bad breath, body odor and sometimes teeth( depending on what exactly you are ingesting). In women, it could lead to problems in the menstrual cycle such as inconsistency in periods, or very heavy bleeding. You could be underweight, or overweight(overweight most likely due to intense cravings caused from vitamin and mineral deficiencies) And if you were to get into the more severe problems, such as those caused by extreme obesity or malnutrition ( such as in the cases of eating disorders) then you start dealing with things such as organ damage, heart attacks, blood clots, strokes, bone loss, high cholesterol, stunted growth, kidney,liver,and heart faliure, and sometimes problems with the reproductive organs (such as polycystic ovarian syndrome).

\ The addictive agent in Lortabs is Hydrocodone -- a synthetic opioid. The REAL answer to this question goes as follows: Some years ago, addictive meds were defined as those your body built such a strong tolerance to that stopping cold was very dangerous and could even be fatal. Alcohol is one of these; babrbituates are another. Stopping barbitutae habits was a nightmare, because it wasn't uncommon for your patient to convulse on you and even die. Hugely dangerous, those addictions. Nowadays, addiction to hydrocodone is real alright, but unlike the meds from the bad old days, it won't kill you. In fact, it won't cause really acute symptoms like delerium tremons (from ETOH). Stopping a reasonably major hydrocodone addiction (say up to 4.4g per day) feels like you have a truly nasty flu -- no more and no less. So -- here's how you do it: # Get some time where you don't have duties are chores. Four days is likely more than enough. # Lay in a stock of GatorAde or some other sports drink. Drink lots of it all the time. # Stock up on food you can eat without having to do much in the kitchen beyond the microwave. Stuff you like. # Feel free with sugar foods -- this is a vacation. # Use Benadryl Flu Tabs or the like. Maybe some aspirin or Ibuprofen if you need it. Nothing prescription except any other prescription meds you're taking for other issues (like, if you're taking heart medication, of course continue it). # Rent enough movies. # Don't take incoming calls unless you want to. No bill collectors :}. # Tell everyone you're out with the flu. # Plan on sleeping a lot. # Stop the Lortabs. # And spend the next 4 days recovering. # Remember all through this that you're ill now but it'll be better soon. Nothing wrong with you -- just like a flu. # If you ever get scared or hurting during this, have someone on call to help you -- but you wont get scared or hurting. Honestly -- that's all there is to it -- IF you're ready to stop this habit. Best of luck.

"Fat" is not a medical term used to describe the vagina. If you have concerns about the appearance or health of your vagina, it is best to consult a healthcare provider for an evaluation.

The solvents in nail polish (and perhaps some of the pigments in pink) have an effect on the brain's chemistry that can create feelings of pleasure. However, they also cause permanent brain damage over time. Pretty stupid thing to do, actually.

Internet addiction is described as an impulse control disorder which does not involve use of an intoxicating drug and is very similar to pathological gambling. * Preoccupation with the Internet. (Thoughts about previous on-line activity or anticipation of the next on-line session.) * Use of the Internet in increasing amounts of time in order to achieve satisfaction. * Repeated, unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop Internet use. * Feelings of restlessness, moodiness, depression or irritability when attempting to cut down use of the Internet. * On-line longer than originally intended. * Jeopardized or risked loss of significant relationships, job, educational or career opportunities because of Internet use. * Lies to family members, therapist, or others to conceal the extent of involvement with the Internet. * Use of the Internet as a way to escape from problems or to relieve a dysphoric mood. (e.g., feelings of hopelessness, guilt, anxiety, depression.) Internet addiction results in personal, family, academic, financial and occupational problems that are characteristic of other addictions. Impairment of real life relationships are disrupted as a result of excessive use of the internet. Internet addicts spend more time in solitary seclusion and spend less time with real people in their lives. Arguments may result due to the volume of time spent on-line. Internet addicts may attempt to conceal the amount of time spent on-line, which results in distrust and the disturbance of quality in once stable relationships. Financial problems may occur due to the significant amount of time spent on-line and the service provider charges. Common financial issues are large bills for use of some services, the telephone connection charges and telephone bills for calls made to ?friends̠in chat rooms. Other financial charges may include a connection with compulsive spending/shopping. Internet addicts may choose to shop on-line and credit card charges for purchases may become high. Also, a connection with gambling exists with the availability of on-line casinos. Some internet users may develop an emotional attachment to on-line friends and activities they create on their computer screens. Internet users may enjoy aspects of the internet that allow them to meet, socialize and exchange ideas through the use of chat rooms or "virtual communities". These communities allow the person the means to escape from reality and seek out means to fulfill unmet emotional and psychological needs, which are more intimate and less threatening than real life relationships. Some Internet addicts may also create on-line personas where they are able to alter their identities and pretend to be someone other than themselves.The highest risk for creation of a secret life are those who suffer from low self esteem, feelings of inadequacy, and fear of disapproval from others. Such negative self concepts lead to clinical problems of depression. There is help for Internet Addiction. The Illinois Institute for Addiction Recovery at Proctor Hospital provides assessment and treatment services for the Internet addict.
